Hallie
An exclamation used when seeing someone with a large backside.
Chip
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
Just come on, big butt, let's get extra dirty.
Hallie
Okay, guys. Welcome back to Extra Dirty. We are in the new set today with a very special guess what's up. I have my dad on the pod. What do you think of the new set?
Chip
I like it. It's. I'm very comfortable around a bar area. Yeah, I came in here and it was literally like, that's my fifth kid. My mount. Bottle of monkey.
Hallie
I know. I feel like it kind of works like my personal brand. Just like being behind a bar, like, I feel safe here. I feel comfortable. The conversations will get flowing. I think we should start off the episode making a beverage because that's what we do best together.
Chip
Well, if you have any tonic water, we'll do Mount Gay and Tonic. But since we don't have that, let's do Mount Gay and Diet Coke.
Hallie
That's two of my favorite things.
Chip
Hal, I just want to let you know as we do the podcast, I love you and I'm so happy for your success in this podcast.
Hallie
Thank you, dad.
Chip
And I want people to know that might be listening that this isn't about Hallie's dad talking to my baby girl. This is about Chip talking to Hallie. So Chip and Hallie, there's no. Nothing's gonna be left on the table. No question go unanswered.
Hallie
We're gonna put everything on the table.
Chip
Everything on the table.
Hallie
People ask me about you the most. I feel like you are the real star of the family. No, it's true. I like. Do you know people are excited for you to come on the show.
Chip
So we've been in New York for a few days moving Callie's brother Sammy in, and it's a heavy pour. Hopefully it goes well for a Monday morning.
Hallie
I know this is like yours, not your signature drink, but your favorite drink in the summer is like a Mount Gay and tonic.
Chip
Right, Right, exactly.
Hallie
Why do you like it?
Chip
I don't know. Just the tonic cuts the rum a little bit. It's a. You know, when not everybody carries Mount
Hallie
Gay, I feel like it's more of like a summery drink.
Chip
Yeah, it's like a Jamaican, you know. You're having that at the back by our crew.
Hallie
Let me just.
Chip
Out of my. Wow, it's a heavy pour for a Monday.
Hallie
Where do you think I can get it from? It's Monday morning.
Chip
Are we doing here Monday?
Hallie
Cheers to the show.
Chip
Let's rip it show. And here's to the new location.
Hallie
Should we do a fit check before we start? We can show the people what you're wearing. Is it all Italy?
Chip
All right, so double bump strap, Edward green London suit, custom Italy shirt, purple label Ralph Lauren. Roly, my buddy. Vintage air mate.
Hallie
Okay.
Chip
Ray Bans. Oh, that's like a two piece thing.
Hallie
Yeah, it's a set. So it's like cargo Alexander Wang head to toe.
Chip
Yeah. As we say in Awang. Oh, those are Prada.
Hallie
Yeah, Prada.
Chip
I'm so proud of you.
Hallie
Thanks, dad. And posse lissieman. We have some diamonds on the right hand, the Roly on the left.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Couple tats, couple tattoos that I regret.
Chip
And I was saying Hallie, before we got on the podcasts, like, I hate when she buys nice stuff because I know she's using my credit card. I want to say, no, I don't like that. Put it back. But she always buy like her mother. They always buy the nicest gear.
Hallie
And like, me and my mom have the exact same style. Like, I can shop for her, she can shop for me. And then you get mad at both of us. Okay, let's talk. I'll do some rapper New York City rapid fire questions since you're here visiting.
Chip
Let's go.
Hallie
And you think you know New York better than me? That's not the case. Like what happened last night, for instance.
Chip
We went to dinner at this place called Hawksmoor, which I've been reading about. They said they had the coldest martini in New York City, which is bullshit. You know, we went in there, was good. Not great. No need to go back, but you know, I was. Had the family together, so.
Hallie
No, it was good. Yeah, the vibes are up there.
Chip
But the thing is, we started at the Mercer at like 5:00'. Clock. Right on the button, you know, we had a couple there and then we went back to the hotel, had a couple there, right to dinner, had a couple more.
Hallie
We were all lit.
Chip
Yeah, my workout was a little fuzzy
Hallie
this morning, but yeah, I definitely woke
Chip
up in a booze.
Hallie
Win or lose, you drink your mood. You know what I'm saying? Rapid fire. What is your favorite restaurant in the city?
Chip
Pestis is when I come to New York. All right. When I come to New York, I go to the hotel. My first stop is Pestis.
Hallie
It's just the ambiance.
Chip
Yeah. They just do everything right in that place.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
I can't say the same about Baltazar, even though the both owned by the same people. I just love the vibe in there. That chicken sandwich is to die for. I get that.
Hallie
I've never had a problem there, like where like they up an order up something. They have the best Bloody Mary.
Chip
Yeah, they do have good bloody.
Hallie
Do you like buddies?
Chip
You know, you can do one bloody
Hallie
but you can't do two bloodies. That's kind of gross. It's like a meal in a. It's a meal on a cup.
Chip
It's like kissing your sister doesn't do you any good.
Hallie
Okay, what's the best bar you think in New York City?
Chip
The best bar. We've been going to the Peninsula lately at Christmas. But I like the one at the Regis.
Hallie
The St. Regis.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
What do they call that up here?
Chip
They got Old King Cole, the Muriel in the back, which is from the Knickerbocker Hotel.
Hallie
Oh, yeah. That's an iconic bar.
Chip
I like that because it's kind of like, you know, sophisticated. It's a beautiful hotel.
Hallie
What do you think about the members clubs in New York? You know, a member at like all of them.
Chip
Right. So we're members of zz, which, yeah, you know, has turned it up from the old wine days. But, you know, you're at Shea, Margot and Zero Bond. Yeah. So they serve sort of two different. You know, I love Zero Bond because we stay at the Bowery a lot.
Hallie
Yeah. The Zero Bond is not food forward in my opinion.
Chip
Right.
Hallie
Whereas like Shane, Margot is like a Jean George, like great sick menu.
Chip
Yeah. I met him in. Down in. When we were at Saint Barts. He had the pad. Next. Yeah, JG for me. John George to you. But jg, what a great parody.
Hallie
On the nickname basis.
Chip
He knows how to get it done too. He's got great restaurants.
Hallie
What's your favorite neighborhood to stay in when you come to New York City?
Chip
For years we stay at the Bowery.
Hallie
But I love the Bowery.
Chip
I know it's funky and it's cool, but lately we've been staying at the Gans Award because I. It's a quick walk to Pastiche. You can get the Chez Margaux. You can get up to ZZ's pretty easy. Those are the 2/2 in between. But if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with that meatpacking area.
Hallie
I think meatpacking is more your vibe.
Chip
It's bright.
Hallie
What's the most insane thing you've seen on the streets of New York City?
Chip
The most insane thing?
Hallie
Yeah. Have you ever seen anything crazy? Once I was walking down in Soho and I saw pull down his pants and take a dump in the middle of the street.
Chip
No shit. Really?
Hallie
No pun intended. Yeah.
Chip
You know what I'm saying? What a hot shit, huh? That's gonna leave a mark.
Hallie
But have you ever seen anything crazy like that?
Chip
No, not really. I mean, we have, as you know, in Boston, they have the fucking meth mile. You see that? They lean over and like picking an ant off the ground. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
Hallie
They have like the fenty folds.
Chip
Yeah, yeah. I don't know what that's all about.
Hallie
It makes you look like the walking dead where they folded over. It's like the craziest thing, something like
Chip
that in New York. But I haven't seen anything like, you know, I saw that naked cowboy dude like 15 years ago.
Hallie
But he's always there. In Times Square.
Chip
Yeah. Yeah.
Hallie
What's the best neighborhood for shopping in New York City?
Chip
Two areas you go to. You go Madison Ave. And you walk up because, you know, I love Italian clothes. Yeah, you and your mom go to Bergdorf and suit down a sax. But I guess Soho is probably the target rich environment. It has all the brands that you're probably looking for.
Hallie
Yeah. And like massive stores. Honestly, like, I feel like we've been having the most success at two mines.
Chip
Love that place.
Hallie
And I would love to gatekeep that store because I don't want everyone knowing about it.
Chip
Actually.
Hallie
That girl can sell, but she can sell. We've gotten really close to her.
Sponsor Voice
Lauren.
Hallie
Shout out like, she's amazing.
Chip
Every time we spend a lot of money, every time we go in there, she locks the door because she doesn't, A, want to let anyone in. B, let us out.
Hallie
Yeah, it's like we're being held hostage.
Chip
I'm not even looking at Mike Amex.
Hallie
I wouldn't.
Chip
I asked you yesterday, I said, you buy anything, you go, a hat. She looked like Santa. Remember when the Grinch stole Christmas? He comes down in Whoville. You know, you look like. You look like the dog coming out of Susie Boohoo's house. Whatever the her name was, she. The dog's like this with 19 packs. So you look like.
Hallie
Remember that time leaving Bergdorf?
Chip
We're at Bergdorf. Well, I wasn't at Bergdorf because I don't like Bergdorf, but Halle's mom and how I go into Bergdorf, and so I'm. I'm texting her and, like, where the are they? They've been in there a long time, and time is not my friend. When they're in there that long, they come out. They were both, like, afraid to see me. They're like, they had more. They had to have a. Like a security guard open the other door to bring the bags out.
Hallie
They offered us a bellman.
Chip
It was unfucking.
Hallie
That we could keep for the day or something.
Chip
Jesus. I'm still taking it.
Hallie
But you know what I said to you yesterday? I was like, dad, I didn't give you consent to be born.
Chip
Oh, I know. I know.
Hallie
You know, it wasn't my choice is what happened.
Sponsor Voice
You made me.
Hallie
You made an animal.
Chip
And I will say this, and people say it also is. You know, with bachelors, we dress.
Hallie
We do. And you wouldn't want us to dress like.
Chip
Plus, I want stuff.
Hallie
Quality over quantity.
Chip
I want stuff people don't have.
Hallie
Yeah, no one has that suit.
Chip
Where'd you get that? Well, they only made one. Yeah, like that Montclair jacket that I use when you went out to Aspen or whatever.
Hallie
Ye.
Chip
Joe cleaned it too, by the way.
Hallie
It was already dirty when I.
Chip
A couple stains and some lipstick on them, but here we go. It was only one of four made or something like that. You never see that coat again.
Hallie
You go. I'm only lending it to you because I know if you it up, you can afford it.
Chip
You can buy me a new one.
Hallie
That is true. All right. What is your favorite thing to do as a family?
Chip
Trying to figure out, like, a show or something. Let's face it.
Hallie
We get here, we have the same routine.
Chip
We have lunch usually, or you know, if it's after like 4:35 o', clock, we start having a couple martinis, go to nice dinners. Next day, get up, work out. We work out like animals. This shit doesn't happen overnight. And then rinse and repeat. We basically shop, eat, workout and drink. Yeah, that's the four.
Hallie
This is my favorite things to do.
Chip
Exactly.
Hallie
All right, let's talk about your lower. Let's go back to the beginning a little bit. I don't know if I want to start at like college, dad, or like. Where do you want to start?
Chip
I'll start anyway, you tell me.
Hallie
Where'd you grow up?
Chip
So I grew up on the south shore, down to Mass. High school was great. I was a good athlete. Played football, kept my football team the whole bullshit. But I needed to get out of the town I was in. And then my mom died when I was 18, so I moved to Milton with my grandmother while I was going to college. My grandmother taught me a lot about a lot of different things.
Hallie
So you were really close to your grandma? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chip
But I grew up piss poor, as you know. We didn't have anything. I mean, my dad, the biggest year at the phone company, Four to Midnight, he might have made 28 grand. We had five kids.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
I knew what poor was like and I didn't want to do that. So I worked my balls off.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
To get, you know, to where we are now.
Hallie
Didn't you're like high school counselor say, like there's no way to ever be successful.
Chip
Like she told me to go to this. They call it the four Cs. Cape Cod Community College. Mike, what are you talking about?
Hallie
That.
Chip
So I went to Northeastern for two semesters and I got straight A's. You know, I spent more time in high school on the field than I did in the classroom. I didn't. And even go to class, I didn't have to. I was counting the football team. And then I transferred to a school in upstate New York and Union College. Dutchman, baby.
Hallie
Me and my brothers went there, my
Chip
brother went there, I went there, my nephew went there, and three of my four kids went there.
Hallie
What were you like in college? Were you in a frat?
Chip
Du. Du. It's built on. Without du, baby. I was trying to get an. I felt a thigh, but they didn't let me in. But I tap a keg was one I was looking at.
Hallie
Also such a dad joke. I'm obsessed. Did you have girlfriends in college? Like, were you like a man whore? Did you Ever. Like ghost girls. Like, what was it like?
Chip
I was total ghosts. We didn't have the. We didn't have the Google machine.
Hallie
You'd have to use, like a smoke signal.
Chip
Watch and learn, boys. You have to go right up. I always went up to the hottest girl, too, so I always got fucking rejected. But nine out of 10 times, I got the Heisman, which is why I married your mom, because they fucking went up to the hottest girl in that group, too.
Hallie
You need to tell that story of how you met mom.
Chip
We're gonna answer the other question. So I had, like, girlfriends, kinda. But I did have a girlfriend in college for the, like, last year and a half, but I was so young, I didn't like. I feel anything to offer anybody.
Hallie
I think people kind of like, get into relationships in college because it's like you're on. All on canvas. It's like you're, like, gated in. You're like. You feel like you need some sort of, like, companionship.
Chip
Yeah. And, you know, my grandmother gave me great advice. She said, don't. She goes, stay alive till 35.
Hallie
You tell me that, you know, I
Chip
said, I don't want to die at 35. I said, no, I'm saying. She said to me, don't get married to your 35. I got married at 34 and a half. Because you won't have financially be there to support someone in a family and you won't have sold your oats. So if I had to give advice to guys, stick tight, you know, middle, mid to late 30s, and then start thinking about it.
Hallie
Yeah. Would you give that same advice to me?
Chip
Yeah. I mean, it's different for women because, you know, you're on the clock. Right.
Hallie
You know, now you can, like, freeze your eggs.
Chip
Right. Right.
Hallie
So there's ways around it. Now I don't feel like I'm ready to be in a relationship.
Chip
Don't.
Hallie
But then you have Brynn, who's getting married.
Chip
She's 30, so by.
Hallie
I'm guessing, but she's 15 months older than me. Like, you don't have that big gap.
Chip
Right. Right.
Hallie
I just can't picture my.
Chip
You guys. No, no. You guys have two different mentalities about
Hallie
that and, like, two different worlds too.
Chip
And she's got a great guy, so. But I wouldn't be. If I'm a guy out there, I wouldn't be thinking about it, you know? Yeah. Slay as much as you can and
Hallie
then you can get away with.

Hallie
all right, let's go back to meeting Mom.
Chip
So we're at a bar at a private party and I was with my girlfriend at the time. I dated probably six, seven months and one of my buddies and I saw Mama with like six of her hens. They're probably all still single. And I said to my buddy, Mama had this cute little bob haircut and he's like Jackie O. Like she's so shot glass. Oh. So I turned those Jackie oh, and the Snacky O. But that's on episode two. But I said to my buddy, I said, you see that girl over there? I'm gonna marry that girl.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
And then I said to my girlfriend, I said, I'll be right back. And she's like, so. So I said, I'll be right back. So I'm going over to throw in the bathroom. Mama's roommate sort of jumps in between us. And I didn't have the greatest reputation in town with the ladies, so she said, like, no way you're going to date her. Like. And then they all started blowing me. I said, all right, you know, I'll. I'll get. Then I knew where she worked, so I. I was going to. Yeah. Today they call it. You know, back then it was being aggressive. Today you'd get five to 15 stocking. I was using fucking fake numbers. Everything was awesome. That was the time where you get there.
Hallie
Yeah, it's good.
Chip
We didn't go on a date for like three months.
Hallie
What'd you call her? Was it called screening?
Chip
No, it was no call screening back then. I just found out where she worked and I found, you know, how to get a hold of her. And then the first date we were on, I went for a run before the date, and it was like the worst run I've ever done in like five mile thing. I was dying. I was 45 minutes late. She was. I was walking in, she was walking out.
Hallie
So you begged her, stalked her to get on a date, and then you showed up. 45 minutes.
Chip
Yeah, that's.
Hallie
Oh, she was probably. There's like smoke coming out of her side herself.
Chip
Like, I literally had to push her back into the bar. But after that, it was smooth sailing money. Yeah.
Hallie
Yeah. You guys have been together for how long now?
Chip
34 years.
Hallie
34.
Chip
We'll be together 34, married 31 this June.
Hallie
I love unheard of these days. We love that bitch. Shout out, Mom. I'm trying to get her on the pod, too.
Chip
She'll be on the pod.
Hallie
She shy. I always say that your relationship is like a rock star relationship. Like, she's the rock. She keeps you humble, in place, gets it done, and you're the star. You kind of bring her out of her shell a little bit too. So it kind of like, works in
Chip
the kind of way say, she's the steak on the sizzle. Yeah. Because we're a big steak family, as you know.
Hallie
I Love it.
Chip
Go 23. I didn't do any of that shit with the hospital visits and all that. That was all mama.
Hallie
Hospital visits.
Chip
You know, when you had to Go, like, doctor's visits and all that crap you guys had to do. I didn't do any of that.
Hallie
Mom did everything. I feel like when it came to, like, school stuff or we're gonna get in trouble at school or if one of us had to go to rehab, like, mom always is just the one
Chip
coordinating all that shit, you know, we went to these. I always think about it. We went. You guys went to the most exclusive private high schools in the country and would go there, and you'd see all these family that thought they were perfect. Yeah, we're like, no, we're not perfect. Our cabinets at the house look like a CVS, don't they? Who needs Proac?
Advertiser
Who needs.
Hallie
Who needs Oxy Anex on aisle 12? You know, it's honestly real and authentic. I think why people like me a lot or appreciate me a bit is because I'm honest.
Chip
You're real about it. You talk about your fake tits and your teeth and your eating disorder. I mean, I think that helps people.
Hallie
Yeah. You know, it creates a conversation at the very least.
Chip
Again, these families that think they're perfect, it's all.
Hallie
It's very Wellesley. Those Wellesley.
Chip
Yeah. You can pick any town you want.
Hallie
Do people come up to you a lot in Boston?
Chip
All the time. I get fan blumed.
Hallie
You call it fan bombs?
Chip
Yeah. And I ask people, the first thing I say, they ask me, are you Hallie's dad? I'm like, do I owe you money? Or, you know, I guess I get that out of the way. But I asked him all I said, why do you follow Hal? I said, a, you're real. Can you talk about, you know, sucking dick or whatever, doing. But B, you're funny as shit. And you are funny, and I think I gave. I think I gave you a little. The funny isms.
Hallie
No, you definitely did.
Chip
Come on, baby.
Hallie
Now you text me one day, you go, your tick tock is funny as. Yeah, you should get into acting.
Chip
Life is an act.
Hallie
No, it's good. It's good. Do people ask you to take photos a lot?
Chip
Yeah. You know, if I get a hundred fan bombs, maybe 50, ask for a selfie.
Hallie
I kind of love it. All right, let's talk about the fam a bit. Now, what is one story about me as a child that perfectly explains why I am the way I am today?
Chip
Oh, my God. This is gonna go for a while. You were so obsessed with so many different things at certain parts of your life. Like, one year, it was like tsunamis. What is it?
Hallie
I used to be Obsessed with horses.
Chip
Horses.
Hallie
Then one year.
Chip
No, no, one year was chicken pot pie.
Hallie
I still love chicken pop.
Chip
And one year, I was learning Papa Mental. I remember you bought that book. It was about this thick. You opened, like, one page, and that thing was left at Logan Airport. Coming back from Aruba.
Hallie
I forgot about Poppy. I used to watch YouTube videos of tsunamis for hours on end.
Chip
I don't remember that.
Hallie
And natural disasters. Really, it was.
Sponsor Voice
I don't.
Hallie
I feel like everyone.
Chip
You are a tsunami.
Hallie
What else? Surfing.
Chip
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you were good, too. People realize on the podcast what a badass you are. Because I explained to somebody yesterday, I think it was Lauren, I said, if Hallie's standing a foot away from you, she could kick you in the face. She's got a brown belt. She can fucking snap us both in that. And I've seen the. Seen her, like, when they were younger, beat the shit out of both of her brothers. Like, no problem at all.
Hallie
No. And also, like, I was really good at karate.
Chip
Dude, you were a fucking killer.
Hallie
I was. I would beat the fuck out of boys. Remember?
Chip
Every girl that had to fight Hallie, you'd see a little peace stain around that crotch. Cause I'm like, they'd leave, and it'd be over with.
Hallie
And then I would rock their absolute shit.
Chip
Oh, the girls. Wasn't it all came down to howling. This kid, you know, you probably won 60 of the fights against him. He was good. He was a nice kid, too. He had a nice family.
Hallie
No, he was technical. Like, I remember he had good, like, technique, but I was just more aggressive.
Chip
Like when I thought you were gonna fucking snap.
Hallie
No, I did snap. Remember how he came in after that when sensei was like, go. And I just came in at his fucking face?
Chip
Yeah. I think I told you to do that, Cook. Fucking kick his ass.
Hallie
I know. It was like a Karate Kid moment.
Chip
So again, you were obsessive. You're like a. I'm very obsessive. Yeah. When you pick one thing, it's like the world is closing in and nothing around you matters other than chicken pot pie.
Hallie
It's such a good comfort food.
Chip
Ah, it's so great.
Hallie
What was the most dramatic thing I ever did growing up?
Chip
The most dramatic thing?
Hallie
I wasn't a dungeon whore from the beginning. Remember I used to, like, shove my fingers down my throat when I was 2 and do the Exorcist.
Chip
That was like, a precursor. Well, when you were born, your mother had to go bareback because they up the epidural and, you know You've been a pain in her butt since. But I, I wasn't really good in the like the rooms when you guys are being born. I think I was watching the Flintstones when you were being like that fucking Bonnie Rebel. What an actor that guy is. And you make yourself throw up at night going into the crib because you didn't want to go to bed. The whole head wound, hallelujah time, you know, we didn't know.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah.
Hallie
When I was cross eyed.
Chip
Yeah, yeah.
Hallie
I can still do it.
Chip
Yeah, yeah, I know. Don't do that, honey. That brings back bad memories. But literally we're. We're at Mass General every month with a. I said keep the tab open. They thought we were beating the out of you. You had to go in there so much. Like, I think they have pictures on you on the wall. Head wound alley.
Hallie
I think I'm on wing there.
Chip
Oh, God, no.
Hallie
There was one year that I was in the hospital. Hospital at least five times for different head injuries. I fell off the bed.
Chip
One, the worst one when you guys are at school doing that like theater thing. Done that church.
Hallie
Oh.
Chip
When I rolled, stepped over that and you hit it right on the.
Hallie
I was rolling down the stairs. Or how about when. What's this space fiat all through Tweety Clock at my head?
Chip
I wasn't there.
Hallie
I was gushing.
Chip
Was he trying to kill you?
Hallie
Did you ever think that when I was young I would be going into like social media or something that was public facing?
Chip
Social media was just starting to kick in when you were young. You know, you guys are doing different stuff, but you know, you have all the attributes to be great at this. You're funny, you're attractive, you're smart. You know how to go through it.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
And as much as I like to think I know everything about everything, you know, at one point is probably a couple years ago he said, dad, shut the up. You don't know what you're doing. I need your help in X, Y and Z legal account thing, whatever. From there. I got it. And I can. I appreciate that.
Hallie
I do appreciate. I feel like you want to be so helpful in everything that we are doing with our careers and stuff. And this is the one thing that I feel like you. You didn't know as much as I did.
Chip
Dude, I don't even know how to turn the Google machine on, bro. You should see me, like if you ask me to like go on Facebook or whatever it is and like Instagram. Insta. I wouldn't know how to do it. No I see the though.
Hallie
No, it's. You think I'm funny and great when you think is funny.
Chip
What is it?
Hallie
Who else do you follow that you think is funny?
Chip
I just follow you and grade and basically.
Hallie
Okay, yeah. That's all you really need.
Chip
You know, when you go on certain feeds, they know exactly what the you're doing. I often find myself getting feeds for steaks, which I love, and then pizza, which I don't eat a lot of, but.
Hallie
But it's fun to watch.
Chip
Yeah, I watch you guys just so
Hallie
like, you know what? It works.
Chip
She said that about me. Whatever Hallie says about me is in fact true. People think I did say talk to
Hallie
never said anything bad about you.
Chip
No, I know. It's all great. But I did talk to this girl once. She said, don't you guys make that up just for the tick tocks. I'm like, no, our family's up. Well, we go hard like morning, noon, and night.
Hallie
I know. People are like, you party so much. I'm like, I'm a product of my environment. We like to rip it. Life is short. Drink. Oh, like I could get hit by a bus leaving this podcast studio right now. At least I'll have a slight buzz on.
Chip
I love that. How'd you do it? Well, monkey in a fucking bus. Yeah.
Hallie
All right. Who is the problem child in our home out of the four of us?
Chip
Depends what the problem is. But you've been a lot of work in certain areas, and Chad's been a lot of work.
Hallie
We're actually conveniently both the middle kids.
Chip
Totally.
Hallie
But you know the difference between me and Chad? I feel like I always had kind of like a conscience, and mine was like, a little bit more out of my control.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Chad just makes stupid decisions.
Chip
Yeah. And that's not his fault. He's, you know, but he's. He's gonna. He's gonna get that.
Hallie
No, he's crushing it right now.
Chip
He's crushing it right now.
Hallie
All your kids are.
Chip
The kid is. He's got grandfather's blue eyes.
Hallie
I mean, he's a stud.
Chip
He is a stud. And. And his brother is too. So can I get another drink or.
Hallie
Yeah. Should we refresh?
Chip
That's a too go.
Hallie
Remember when you guys grounded me for nine months? It never stuck.
Chip
I think you're still grounded. So we go away, Allison and I, and I don't know, probably.
Hallie
Oh, wait, no, that was a different time. I'm talking about the time where I got alcohol.
Chip
Everything just have to rages you guys had. I probably don't even know about. But we came back, Hallie had a rager. You know, we have a five story brownstone. She probably had 100 people in there.
Hallie
No, that's not true. It was actually small, but just like two of the girls happened to like get sick. Cuz the cops came.
Chip
Our house is kind of unique and that the rug in our master bed, which they had these Tibetan guys.
Hallie
This hand sewn by blind nuns.
Chip
Exactly. Totally. Thing costs like zillion dollars. We come home and it's got bleach stains all over the thing. Totally destroyed. And Hallie, in infinite wisdom, thought getting bleached to get the puke stains out would work. Is that how it rolled?
Hallie
I didn't clean it up. I think was trying to clean it up.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Because it wasn't my friend. And she was drunk and used bleach instead of something that could have probably just. It wasn't even a big mess. She created a bigger mess using bleach. It was bad. I wrote him a 17 page apology letter and it included pictures.
Chip
Yeah, I still have that.
Hallie
Oh, but it was actually. That was not even the time I was referring to. It's referring to the time where I got alcohol poisoning.
Chip
Before you were 14 or so.
Hallie
Yeah, I was like, yeah, I remember.
Chip
You came home.
Hallie
You know what I did for that? I went into your liquor cabinet and I took every clear alcohol liquid and like, just took a little from each and put it into a water bottle so you wouldn't notice I took any.
Chip
Right.
Hallie
So think about like cleared tequila, gin, clear vodka, a nuke.
Chip
Basically, cold as the days.
Hallie
And I drank the whole thing, almost like foaming at the mouth. It was a huge storm and mom had to come pick me up.
Chip
Oh, darn it.
Hallie
And then you forced me to go back to karate.
Chip
Yeah. You know, that happens to everybody. Happens.
Hallie
You know, I know you were kind of laughing at it.
Chip
I introduced you to wine when you were seven, eight. And I don't know if people know on the podcast that Hal's got a palate second to none. Like even stuns some sommeliers when she says, all right, I taste, I don't have that palate. And people like, wow, you were.
Hallie
It's probably because you were feeding me wine at the age of six.
Chip
Yeah. Because you had a pure taste to it. I didn't want you guys to like, you know, at age 15 or 16 when you started ripping it to like be new to alcohol. And wine's like a good entree.
Hallie
Yeah. And the rusty beaches and Aruba Too.
Chip
Remember when I was, like, 12 up? It's a height thing there. You could be 10 years old, but if you make the thing, it's like getting into Disney, you know, if you make the thing, they'll give you drinks. Yeah.
Hallie
It's like a weight and height limit.
Chip
Yeah. Oh, God.
Hallie
I remember that time when I was like, 12 and you gave me my first beach and you were like. And I was like, giggling the whole.
Chip
Yeah, you couldn't stop laughing. That was funny.
Hallie
Who got in the most trouble growing up and for doing what?
Chip
Probably Chad, I would guess.
Hallie
Chad did get kicked out of a couple. He was just meant for, like, a regime, like, you know what I mean? Like, he was just kind of, you
Chip
know, Mama said to me recently, said, you know, all those things that I had to go fight the battle for and said, chad didn't do it. Chad didn't do it. Chad didn't chance. He did it. I love. I was like that. I was a wise ass.
Hallie
You know, he's just like adhd and.
Chip
Yeah. Me and Michael Egan, when we were like, eight years old, lit our entire house on fire.
Hallie
Wait, why?
Chip
I don't know. We just like playing with matches. So is this your job? You like to sit here and, like, answer questions from dopes like me? Yeah. I love that.
Hallie
It's awesome. Crazy.
Chip
The world the one you had the best line. I want to apply to be a Bush out the Super Bowl. We're at.
Hallie
Oh, yeah. Like, I want to be. How do you get.
Chip
I thought you brand deal and go out there and, you know, no one showed you the love you. You didn't miss anything. Both teams didn't play great Patriots.
Hallie
It was a boring game.
Chip
The halftime show was made for tv, not for people that were there. There was no one, like, going crazy. It was because you can't see where what's his name was going through the bushes.
Hallie
Yeah, no, it's fine. I actually didn't care that I missed it, but it was a good tick tock.
Chip
They should have it in Miami or someplace warmer.
Hallie
Isn't next year in la?
Chip
I think it is. Yeah.
Hallie
Well, we could go to that.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Who's most like you out of the four of us? And who's most like Mom?
Chip
Brynn's the most like Mom. Probably you are. You and or Chad are most like me.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Based off. I don't think I look like you, though.
Chip
No. No. Yeah.
Hallie
I look like the mailman here.
Chip
Yeah. Thank God. But, yeah, you look like the UPS guy. Six three, blonde. I'm like, look at Sammy. Six feet, shredded. Like a bad report card. I'm like, dude, I said, allison, I said, hey, if you. I'll take one for the team, you know, let you have your way. As long as he's playing Sammy.
Hallie
I can't even post Sammy or Chad on my story anymore because the DMS I get about them are just so inappropriate. I'm like, guys, what do you mean? These are my baby brothers.
Chip
The best one. One girl said, do you do weddings? Like, the groom? That was classic, that one. Again, all four of you are beautiful in your own way.
Hallie
And do you have a favorite, though?
Chip
You know, but I'm not gonna announce that favorite.
Hallie
Is it Sammy?
Chip
No, I spent the most time with Sammy.
Hallie
Because you had to.
Chip
Well, yeah, well, Chad went to boarding school, so I lost four years of hanging out with him, but. But every Little League game, everything. You know, the one thing I wanted to be as a dad is for all of you guys, is I didn't want to be the dad that wasn't there. You know, you can never say, I was not there.
Hallie
No, you took a sledding. Like, you were always so hands on. Like, totally. When we would sneak into the pool when we were younger, what's our Facebook or friends?
Chip
I used to put mascara on the kid's face, like, at night with, like, commandos, which sneak down on the pool and unscrew the light bulbs and go in. What's the name? I don't get into that. Broke my toe.
Hallie
I had a friend at the time, and my dad was trying to hoist her, trying to get over the fence, and she fell onto him and broke his foot. Do you listen to my podcast?
Chip
I. I watched, like, the first one, and then you started getting about sucking dick and all the other stuff. So I'm like, I'm not sure I should be watching this one right now. I know what your stick is, and I know the whole thing, and it doesn't bother me. I mean, it's all natural, and people want to hear that. It's funny, as I'm not like, remember when Grammy watched? Oh, yeah. Why does she have to say all the time? Because that's what people in Boston do. The word in Boston is like a. In the middle of every sentence. What the.
Hallie
Yeah, it's like, what the.
Chip
In a good way. Yeah, we're going to that game.
Hallie
I don't know what episode she listened to. I was. I just talked about this recently to someone, whether it was like, the first episode of when I went on Call Her Daddy or if it was the first episode of my show. I don't know which one she watched, but she couldn't figure out press pause on her iPad and she almost threw it out the window.
Chip
Okay. No, but I, you know, I picked up pieces and you know, I don't need to watch it. But I understand the whole concept.
Hallie
It's business.
Chip
Yeah. I like it though. People are here. I don't give a. It's just shit's happening anyway. You just happen to have the balls to talk about it.
Hallie
That's what I'm saying. Has there been anything I said that you disagreed with?
Chip
No, it's all normal. Like. Yeah, you know.

Hallie
What would be your best advice for me in business and with podcasts and social media?
Chip
I wish I could give you advice, but I keep doing what you're doing and keep all avenues open. Whether it's TV or shows or podcasting, whatever. People want to watch you.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
You know, I'm saying that as a person that watches you day to day, you know, on all your tick tocks and whatnot, you're fucking funny and you get a following second to none. It's only getting better too.
Hallie
Is there like a philosophy or like advice on like money and like spending money that you wish I would actually listen to?
Chip
You know, they say spend 50%, save 25% and you know, take the other 25 as far as like a long term play. But, you know, not to piss it away. You know, you guys are gonna inherit all the. I have eventually. And you know, just keep grinding. Save. You know, this thing could close tomorrow. Take whatever you're making a stash it away.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
And go.
Hallie
And I don't think put it in the money market.
Chip
I don't even, you know, whatever. You know, you're making 5, 6% or whatever. I don't think you're even at the tip of the iceberg of where you're gonna go with this whole talent.
Hallie
Yeah, no, I think I'm at the very beginning.
Chip
This is the beginning of it.
Hallie
I think I'm just getting in a groove.
Chip
Totally.
Hallie
I think it's gonna be big.
Chip
I see people out there doing the big numbers like that. You blow them away. And I'm not just saying that because you're my daughter. I'm just saying in general, you think I'm funnier or much funnier.
Hallie
And I'm also. People have this like, misconception that I'm dumb. I'm not dumb at all.
Chip
You were like two points away from getting a B plus. Hallie was a art history classics major, right? Yeah. Fluent in Latin. And she was like two points away from graduating from college with distinction in her major in high school also. You know, you had a great GPA coming out of your last quarter. Junior first quarter.
Hallie
I was perfectionist. And then that year, though, I was really going.
Chip
Yeah. And then we checked in and then we had to go to rehab after that.
Hallie
Yeah. And you remember when I went to rehab for the first time, showed up with cookies in my homework and said, I hope you feel better.
Chip
And you know, it's kind of like prison when you're in rehab. Halle, like, was the queen bee. So every day they'd show up and they go in this room, you know, sitting on the couch and hel be like, barking the order. No, you get my for me. It's like, you know, get my yarn. Remember I snuck in that burner phone? You're not supposed to have a cell phone.
Hallie
I remember, like, well, they would seal off all, like, the bottoms of the bed or whatever. And I brought in, like, Sex in the City, like, the TV series. And they said, no, it's too triggering.
Chip
Yeah. And then your roommate knocked on you and told you they had to burn a phone. Nobody used to watch you piss. You have to when you go to the bathroom.
Hallie
Yeah. They stand there, which I understand, but, like, there was that one time where my roommate was doing sit ups and I was like, clean up on aisle 12. Get her, get her. Look at her. She's on the board. And sit ups. It was so in there. Yeah, it's whatever. It was kind of like janky, though. Like, I wish I went to, like, where I would get acupuncture and like, it was like a spa retreat.
Chip
You look out the window, you're looking at the entrance of Harvard too.
Hallie
Oh, yeah. Let's do some questions for you about relationship and love. You and mom are together, which is rare for these days, you know, given that everyone's a fucking psychopath. What is your secret to a long lasting, happy, loving relationship?
Chip
60 to get 40. I want to do more for your mother than I expect back from her.
Hallie
Give 60 to expect 40.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
I've never heard you say that. And that's honestly so brilliant.
Chip
60% of all your efforts, but expect 40 back.
Hallie
She gives you a lot, though. What is it she gives you? I feel like you guys are both so in love with each other. You guys are best friends.
Chip
Kidding me. Totally. And you know, I, I, I make no apologies. Your mother's hot.
Hallie
She, she's the hottest.
Chip
See the ass and the legs on her?
Hallie
Yes.
Chip
Oh, my God. I got pics if you want to see, like, as beautiful as she is on the outside, on the inside, she's really nice. She's so honest.
Hallie
She's like, you know, she's so sensitive and catering. She's so, such a good mother.
Chip
A. She's awesome.
Hallie
And I'm sure she's a great partner too.
Chip
I'm, I don't call her a. But all right.
Hallie
The next is looking at the guys I date.
Chip
Yeah. I haven't seen, you know, who's a flavor.
Hallie
Let Me finish.
Chip
Who's the flavor of the week?
Hallie
Let me finish the question. Looking at the guys I date or my generation in general, what is the number one issue you think my generation has with dating? I could probably answer this for you.
Chip
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hallie
I think it's accessibility. You see so much of these, like, inside Insta baddies online. These guys think that everyone's just so accessible these days. I think.
Chip
Well, the issue is that in the old days, you actually had to go up and talk to the person. If I was gonna.
Hallie
Men are now. They don't come up to you.
Chip
Exactly.
Hallie
And they're scared of me. They are.
Chip
So they think I'm a, you know, the hottest. That's why I always went up to the hottest girl in the room to get a date or whatever. Because no one goes up to the hot girl because they don't have the balls to go up to them.
Hallie
No one has the balls but the guys.
Chip
You know, I don't know.
Hallie
I've been out where I go to a bar and, like, there'll be a group of guys at a table next to me and I'll be at a table with my girls neck, like, whatever. No one will say a word to each other. And then I'll leave the bar and I'll get like, DMS on Instagram being like, I was next to you at the bar.
Chip
I'm like, you just buy. You don't bite. Like, not anyway.
Hallie
I'm just like, this is such a pussy move. You're just like. You feel safer behind a keyboard.
Chip
Be a fucking man. Just one walk up and introduce yourself.
Hallie
What's the worst that could happen?
Chip
No.
Hallie
Yeah. I just, I. I agree with you. I think the biggest, you know.
Chip
You know, I have a problem with this. The guys that ask someone out on a date and they ask at the end of the. When the bill comes to split the check.
Hallie
Oh, my God, you would never do that advice.
Chip
I said, h. This what you do. You get up and say, not only I'm not splitting the check. I'll tell you something else. Is not splitting. Is these legs. I said, give them the butter. Or if you're at Italian restaurant, the olive oil, send them to tuggy Town and hit up your girls and go do some shots and kiss cute boys. I mean, the splitting the check thing just drives me crazy.
Hallie
It's just such a move.
Chip
Totally. And guys, the girls control the show, bro. I know what you want. There's one thing you want.
Hallie
Yeah. There's a reason you're buying dinner.
Chip
You Want the pie? I had this class when I was at school. It was an English class actually. And this is a real term called vagina dentata, something like that. Some Greek term, a Latin term. And this professor, I was in with a couple of my boys from my fraternity and the professor was making this argument that the. The world evolves around the vagina.
Hallie
I think so. I think sex controls everything.
Chip
I told this vagina and then he had these marks going on. I thought it was because it was the 80s. Everyone had the bush back then. But he drew the things out like this. And I drew circles. I'm like, all right, what's that? Like some disease giving gonorrhea. So he said, all right, why do you make money to get. Why do you, you know, stay in shape to get. Why do you.
Hallie
Why do you want to look good?
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
And I'm looking at my.
Hallie
Why do you go to the gym?
Chip
This guy is right.
Hallie
That's true. Isn't it like we lowkey hold all the power.
Chip
Totally, totally.
Hallie
It's just like society wants to flip it.
Chip
Yeah. But no, no, no, no. It's. It'll never be flipped. It's been the same way for a million years.
Hallie
It's true. It's true. What? Did you like any of my ex boyfriends or any guy I've ever brought around? Did you like any of them or you think they were all.
Chip
Well, you know, you really didn't.
Hallie
I've never really had a real boyfriend.
Chip
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it happened for a while and he was a good high school boyfriend.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
But you know, give him the Heisman and then in college, I didn't really know if you were, you know, he had. He was a great guy. I loved him. Handsome. He did. He was a polite kid, gentleman, and he was a good college sort of boyfriend. Am.
Hallie
I think I was honestly too mean for him.
Chip
Yeah, he couldn't handle.
Hallie
I walked him like a dog.
Chip
He couldn't handle you?
Hallie
No, he couldn't.
Chip
But you know, but he was a good person.
Hallie
I agree.
Chip
Yeah, he was a good person.
Hallie
And you know, what about what's his face. The older guy.
Chip
He was a flash in the pan. He was literally. He was up for a hot, hot moment. Next thing you know, he's crying to his mommy on the boat back out of Nantucket. I'll give guys advice that want to go up and ask you for a date or whatever. You know, women are expensive. All right, so pick your price point carefully because ain't getting cheaper when you get married. No, this one's not cheap, trust me.
Hallie
I'm literally not cheap at all.
Chip
No, you shouldn't be either. Don't settle, you know.
Hallie
No, and that's why I'm waiting. Yeah, that's what I'm telling myself anyways.
Chip
Whatever.
Hallie
That. Yeah. What is one quality you'd want me to find in a partner that I haven't realized I need yet?
Chip
Make sure he has your back, you know? You don't want some fucking dickhead not backing you up. When I met Mama, we'd go to, like, these black tie events, all right? I knew she was the one. I could be across the room working the deal, and she'd be across the room talking to people that she didn't probably want to talk to.
Hallie
That, Yeah.
Chip
I knew exactly what she was saying about me.
Hallie
What was she saying?
Chip
No, she's saying X, Y and Z. If some blew me shit to her. A blue tissue, mate. She had my back.
Hallie
She does have your back.
Chip
Yeah, at all times. That's the one you want.
Hallie
That's so sweet. I've never heard you see that. Yeah, she's definitely a keeper.
Chip
Oh, hey. I'd be lost without her. Yeah, look at this pack. She goes, I go. Vice versa.
Hallie
It's dark.
Chip
Yeah, it's kind of dark.
Hallie
But then I guess I get my inheritance quicker. No,
Chip
I'm kidding. You spending it right? Right now. Oh, Daddy.
Hallie
I'm going to ask you a few questions.
Chip
Answer every one of them.
Hallie
What's the one most important piece of advice you gave to your kids?
Chip
I don't care what you choose to do, whether it's being a influencer, a pizza maker, the CEO of IBM. Just be the best at it.
Hallie
Be the best pizza maker.
Chip
I told all of you, I don't care what you do, just be the best at it. Work hard. Yeah, Someone's coming in second. It's not going to be you guys.
Hallie
What is your best piece of business advice?
Chip
Best piece of business. Nice. You know, don't sell the product, sell the outcome. So let them visualize where it's going to be at the end of the day when you pitch the thing. And I've done it.
Hallie
You know, I pitch the dream rather
Chip
than, like, process for 35 years. I could sell. Trust me. I'd get up in front of 500 people.
Hallie
Do you still do deals or are you kind of like, out of.
Chip
Yeah, I'm doing development deals. I'm not doing any brokerage deals.
Hallie
Okay. Have we ever been on a banner together?
Chip
Our life is a bender.
Hallie
Our life is A bender. I've been trying to say this.
Chip
Let me lay out a weekend. Lay it out right. Thursday night, Seagrill. Boom, boom, boom. Friday, usually in they go down on the back bar crew. Saturday, Galley, My favorite restaurant in all the world. Champagne. Rip it up. Saturday night, Sunday, Cisco Brewery. Boom. My buddy, Jay Harmon. Your pal. Yep. Literally for like 72 hours. The booze is flowing.
Hallie
Booze is flowing.
Chip
But we all work out like animals, though. It's not like we're just, you know, sitting around doing anything.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah, yeah.
Hallie
You have to have.
Chip
I got a 32 inch waist and I can't, you know, you can't be eating, drink like a Viking without working out hard.
Hallie
What have I done that reminded you the most of yourself?
Chip
You've had success in the your chosen field. I knew you were going to be successful. Really, really successful.
Hallie
Because there's always been times where like, I didn't fully believe in myself.
Chip
No, no. Come on.
Hallie
But I feel like I was kind of destined to do something with a camera.
Chip
No, no. You always so tough. So I knew you're gonna be good.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
And you're beautiful like your mom and your sister. So, you know.
Hallie
That's sweet.
Chip
Yeah. No, it's reality.
Hallie
What's the ideal man you'd want to see me with?
Chip
That's a good question. You know, again, you want, obviously you're not gonna pick some chomp. You want probably a good looking guy that has values that, you know, again,
Hallie
that has to be like a little older.
Chip
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Hallie
You're, you know, nine years older.
Chip
Yeah. At least nine years old. Because I don't think anyone in mid-30s can handle you Tornado. You kidding me? They'd be peeing their pants screaming for mommy. But someone that's already gone through the and sodas oats and had, you know, had his fun, but has your back, you know, and it might be a situation where you're doing financially better than he is and he's got to live with that.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
There's guys on our block that are. I call them house mommies, but their wives are like running hedge funds that are making gajillions. And that's a decision you're going to make with your family.
Hallie
You know, you have to be able to like.
Chip
And you have to have the balls to do it.
Hallie
You know, it does take balls.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah.
Chip
The whole thing about the guy bringing home the bacon, making it, that's all whoever's making the money. You know, the guys that would you
Hallie
want to be in a relationship where like mom's making more money than you.
Chip
I would. I. I could live with that.
Hallie
You could, yeah.
Chip
And your mother, you know, to her credit, she had a great job killing it on the money. And when we had Chad. Chad. She made the call like, you know what? It's more important to be around my kids than it is.
Hallie
It's a bigger job.
Chip
Exactly.
Hallie
Yeah. What parts of yourself do you see in me?
Chip
What parts of. We're both funny as I'm funny. I can't tell good jokes, but I'm funny.
Hallie
I think you do tell them to quick.
Chip
I'm quick.
Hallie
We're both quick.
Chip
And the shit that comes out of my mind is like, what did he come up with that?
Hallie
No. That's how people say about me.
Chip
Yeah. Yeah, totally.
Hallie
So I think that's something we definitely have in common.
Chip
Oh, without a doubt.
Hallie
Where do you see me?
Chip
In 10 years, you will have had at least one, if not two, like, major contract deals with someone.
Hallie
I thought you were gonna say kids.
Chip
Oh, no, no, no, no. Hold on. So you would have had one, if not two contracts in that deal that is gonna propel you through the roof. And then you may decide when you get older that, you know, you might not want to have kids or whatever.
Hallie
I want to have kids.
Chip
So maybe, you know, pop out a couple mid-30s, late-30s. Mama had Sammy at 38 and a half.
Hallie
Well, now you can freeze eggs like that. There's things you can do now.
Chip
Yeah, yeah. Give it a tug, toss it in the bank and go on. You know, But I just think for you anyway, your business career right now
Hallie
for the next most important.
Chip
Without a doubt, without it.
Hallie
Yeah, and I 100 agree with that.
Chip
And I think just, you know, people, you know, I talk to people, CEOs of big companies, they're all saying they don't want to go and spend 9 million bucks for a 30 second ad at the Super Bowl. I'd rather spend a hundred thousand with you because I know exactly your audience. The penetration dollar, whatever they call it, is like 93%. If someone's going to spend money with you, they know who's watching you and that it's much quicker. It's a much quicker spend and it's easier for them to figure out their advertising. And all the companies, this industry is like, you know, call it 250 billion, it's going to be 500 billion in two years. This social media industry, they go into podcasts and influencers. That's all they're going to both. Yeah. So

Hallie
what's your favorite vacation spot right now? St. Bart's I didn't I tell you that you would like. I told you you would like it.
Chip
I love Aruba. Don't get me wrong, Eagle beach is the second greatest beach in the world. But we go there because mama, her mom and dad went there and we have, you know, history there and whatnot. But we've been going to Saint Barts recently and we stayed at Eden Rocks where I met jg. It's just French. And my wife went to the Sorbonne. She's French Canadian.
Hallie
My mom's fluent French.
Chip
Fluent French.
Hallie
That's so hot too.
Chip
Oh, totally hot. Totally.
Hallie
Yeah, totally.
Chip
But she doesn't like speaking French when around me. But she gets nervous. It's just, you know everything I like about the greats. The sun, the place is clean. There's a gym right down the street. The. The food and the restaurants you're talking about. Yeah, it's money.
Hallie
We have to go there as a family.
Chip
Totally.
Hallie
I also think we should go on like a skiing situation.
Chip
Yeah, I want to figure out we
Hallie
should go to like Europe.
Chip
We're thinking about that. I wouldn't mind Going to Aspen, though, because, you know, Calvin. Yeah. So we'll figure that out.
Hallie
It's bougie.
Chip
Saint Barts is the answer.
Hallie
What are your ins and outs for the summer? So, like something you think that is in and something you want to leave in last summer, like, well, our world's
Chip
changing because Sammy's gone. So now we have this big brownstone by ourselves. But as you knew, I grew up pissed poor, so I want to travel a little bit more.
Hallie
But any places you want to see in particular?
Chip
No, I love Italy. Sardinia is money. But you guys should go. To me, it's tough leaving Nantucket in the summer though.
Hallie
You guys should go. If you were gonna travel, I feel like you should do May in June and then go to Nantucket.
Chip
Right, Right. I need a base.
Hallie
That's what you should do.
Chip
I think we're going back to Saint Barts in early maybe because I need a base for the color, you know?
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
You don't want to show me white as a ghost.
Hallie
No.
Chip
Fall's a good time, but you know, Italy starts to get quiet enough. I don't know. We'll figure it out. But I hate leaving Nantucket during the summer, though.
Hallie
I don't even like to go to Hamptons that much because locked into Nantucket.
Chip
Totally. You know, for people that are listening right now, Nantucket is so small. And if you're not wired in, in general, you. You can't get into any restaurant, you can't get any bar, whatever. Hallie and her sister and her brothers, they grew up down there as little kids. They know everybody owns all the bars and restaurants.
Hallie
It's true.
Chip
It's true, isn't it?
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
Now with your new social media success.
Hallie
No, they don't like it.
Chip
People want you at their place, you know.
Hallie
Well, sometimes, but sometimes they think it's too much.
Chip
Yeah, yeah.
Hallie
I mean, certain restaurants, certain restaurants who
Chip
you put on the map, they don't like the heat in general. People come to. Like when you did that thing with Grill 23, my favorite restaurant in Boston's a top steakhouse, put it on the map. Hallie did it. Her and I did a quick TikTok about drinking extra dirty and you said if you wanted extra dirty martini, this is the spot to go to within the next three days. Himl said we had to buy like more martini three deep at the bar of twenty somethings looking dirty martinis.
Hallie
But I learned that from you. You have to like help your people out and.
Chip
Yeah, I know great about it.
Hallie
You've been great about It, Yeah.
Chip
And they appreciate the business, trust me.
Hallie
No, you know, I love girl 23. That's the girl 23. For the people that are listening is the best steakhouse that I've ever been to in Boston. No, like in general.
Chip
General. They make these crushed martinis like slushies.
Hallie
Fucking nuts.
Chip
Services time rolling on the floor in that place. Yeah, you know it, you know? Yeah.
Hallie
What's the most drunk you've seen me ever?
Chip
Probably that time you came home when you were a teenager, you were falling over yourself and I kind of looked at you and stepped over and laughed and went to bed. A. You don't. You know, I gotta give you credit. You, you're a good pacer.
Hallie
I can.
Chip
You can. Hey, you can. You know, for 120 pound girl you can drink and you never really lose like control of your, you know, people.
Hallie
I'm never like sloppy.
Chip
Right, Exactly.
Hallie
So like I'll be up, but I'm never like, like annoyingly sloppy.
Chip
Right, right, right, right, right.
Hallie
Like, but I'm like always. I'm like a happy drunk though. I'm not like a mean drunk unless I'm drinking gin.
Chip
Happy drunk, yeah, yeah. Jen's not anyone's friend, but bad. Well, gin is the original. When you get a martini, gin was the original liquor. And then vodka came along.
Hallie
Vodka's just meshes better.
Chip
Yeah, I met that guy, Carl Morlais, he owns Kettle One. His family owns Kettle One from 1680, whatever. And I call him Kettle One.
Hallie
Carl Kettle wine dude. Yeah, I mean it's just timeless. It's the best premium liquor I think ever.
Chip
Yeah. When you go to any bar, the first thing you say, kettle One straight up.
Hallie
Yeah, I always kept one.
Chip
Well, I don't have. Have Kettle One or Grey Goose or whatever you, you know, the backup.
Hallie
And if I'm going to somewhere that doesn't carry Kettle One, I'm at the wrong place.
Chip
Yeah, yeah.
Hallie
What is the worst purchase you found on your credit card? The worst purchase that was from one of us.
Chip
There's not like one major purchase that's on my credit card. You know, I have a black card so the thing could buy a house with it, for Christ's sake. But there's a lot of very aggressive charges.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
Most of them retail. And again, most of them, you know, like. Oh, but we're at, we're in Nantucket for the crew s open and Chad and his infinite Wisdom orders a 15 bottle thing of Dom Perion. It's like 25 grand or something. I'm like, dude, what do you think I told the Sony, what's his name? I'm like, dude, cancel that order. I'm not paying for that. And they canceled the order. But he. And he ended up giving us two bottles of Dom too, and 25 grand. Oh, at least 25. I'm like, dude, what are you. You know, they bring out the sparkly things. And it was funny as. Oh, yeah. I said, go cancel it. I made him go cancel it.
Hallie
That's when he almost fell into the ocean.
Chip
Oh, is that the same day?
Hallie
Yeah. Yeah, he was being really, really funny that day. What's one thing you're most proud of me about?
Chip
Your success that you're having in this industry.
Hallie
You don.
Chip
Yeah, I've always been proud of you because, you know, you've always looked at stuff in your life, like, you know, even the karate and the school and all the. You take it face on and you take no prisoners. And when you're dealing with Halle, no one's coming in second. Get the out of my way. And you know, we laugh about it, but it's the reality. She takes from nobody, including myself.
Hallie
I do rarely.
Chip
Don't take me to go F off more than once, trust me.
Hallie
But, like, you know, you've. Have you seen any of, like, my hate comments and stuff like that? You have to have thick skin.
Chip
Really? Yeah, I tend not to read it. And you shouldn't read them either, you know.
Hallie
Well, I get some death threats. I'm basically going to give you some rapid fire Gen Z lingo.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
And I'm gonna ask you, like, what it means.
Chip
Okay.
Hallie
I want you to, like, guess what it means.
Chip
Okay.
Hallie
So what does Riz mean?
Chip
Riz? No idea. Like, if you were to guess Riz or a reservation at dinner. No, you got her good, Riz. That's res.
Hallie
No, like, I'm raising a up. Like.
Chip
Okay, is that.
Hallie
Yeah, it's like spinning game, essentially. Okay. Do you know what crashing out is?
Chip
Crashing out. Like, is that like when you're done waking up from a hangover or.
Hallie
I guess that would probably involve it. Yeah.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Like, crashing out technically means to, like, have a mental breakdown, but, like, usually induced by a bender.
Chip
Yeah. Booze, you know, anxiety, the whole.
Hallie
Yeah, let him cook.
Chip
Let him cook. Not sure about that one.
Hallie
Like, say he's like, smoke. No, it's like, say he's like, crushing it. All right, so let someone do their thing. So I show off their talent. Like, let him cook. Like if he's the best baseball player ever and he's like, hitting Home run. Like, let him cook. Let him cook.
Chip
Keep going, keep going.
Hallie
Yeah, yeah. Looks maxing.
Chip
Like when you look at someone, you think they're hot or something.
Hallie
I'd be like, oh, he's looks maxing. So heavy.
Chip
Yeah, I kind of got that one right.
Hallie
No, you didn't.
Chip
You're not the best dad. Get the out of here.
Hallie
So looks maxing is to do everything to achieve your personal appearance, maximizing your looks.
Chip
Okay. Looks maxing. That makes sense.
Hallie
Do you know what G is?
Chip
What is it?
Hallie
G. Spell it. G, Y, A, T, T, G, Y,
Chip
A C, T. No. G, Y, A, T, T. No, have no idea.
Hallie
An exclamation used when seeing someone with a large backside.
Chip
Fat ass.
Hallie
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Chip
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
Just call it big butt. You get a zip code with that ass.
Hallie
Do you know what an OP is?
Chip
Op?
Hallie
Yeah, like, oh, she's an op.
Chip
Oh, no.
Hallie
Bad.
Chip
Oh, really? Is that what it's called?
Hallie
No, it's an op. Think about what an op could be
Chip
short for awful person. Op.
Hallie
Opp.
Chip
No idea.
Hallie
Opponent. Opposition. An enemy.
Chip
Okay.
Hallie
She's an awe. That. She's a.
Chip
I'm gonna use that one.
Hallie
Yeah. She's a weirdo. Do you know what I mean?
Chip
Operation.
Sponsor Voice
What is it?
Hallie
Do you know what a hard launch is?
Chip
Is that like a sex thing when he's banging the audio and it's gonna the wood or.
Hallie
No, it's. It's. No, not that it's formally. It's formally enough.
Chip
Tizzy.
Hallie
So, like, when you have Instagram or something TikTok. And like, you're dating someone, you haven't, like, shown them to the Internet yet.
Chip
Right.
Hallie
And the first video you put them in. Yeah, that's technically called a hard launch. You're launching a relationship Hard launch. They're in it.
Chip
You said lunch.
Hallie
How hard?
Chip
Lunch. Lunch, whatever.
Hallie
Formally announcing a new relationship with a clear tagged photo of a partner. That's all it is.
Sponsor Voice
Do you know what a Situationship is?
Chip
Is that like that TV show with the guys from New Jersey? The situation? No idea, honey.
Hallie
Like a situationship is a romantic relationship that lacks clear definitions of commitment.
Chip
Perfect. You're in a lot of situations right now. Flavor of the week. The best one she had, though, was which I watched, and I'm gonna turn October into Cocktober. I'm like, I love that. That was funny as bro dad.
Hallie
Okay, who is the boyfriend of mine you hated the most? And did you ever tell me.
Chip
I don't remember. No.
Hallie
If I brought home a guy who is Perfect, but has no career ambition. What would be your reaction?
Chip
Kick him right out of the house, he's out of the club.
Hallie
What's the most cringe thing you've seen a guy do to try to impress me or you?
Chip
That douchebag you were dating from the hedge fund guy who wanted to like drop a five thousand dollar bottle of wine on me middle of the summer. It was a red wine too. You know who I'm talking about? I'm not mentioning any names. Yeah. Kidding me.
Hallie
That was true. It's red wine. Cali Beach. What is he doing?
Chip
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hallie
Program. Should we champagne at least or rose?
Chip
Oh.
Hallie
What's the one lie I told you as a teenager that you totally knew I was was a lie.
Chip
You know, I don't remember anything specific.
Hallie
I'm a good liar.
Chip
That's probably why you're a good liar. Fake it till you make it.
Hallie
What was your worst hangover?
Chip
Actually, mom and I went on a little bender the other day on Sunday. Came home pretty banged up and Sammy said, that's the drunkest I've ever seen. I'm like, dude, I didn't half the food I was supposed to eat.
Hallie
But yeah, he did text me about that one.
Chip
Yeah, the old days, I'd go on like a two or three, like with the boys, but.
Hallie
But you can't do it like you used to.
Chip
Yeah, we.
Hallie
So we still go pretty hard though.
Chip
Yeah. Yeah. But we get up the next morning and at CrossFit and working out, so I'm not like feeling like I. Yeah.
Hallie
If you could go back and change one parenting decision, what would it be? Would you be like more strict or more lenient?
Chip
No, I thought I was pretty level with all of that and I worked hard, long hours when I was crushing it on the brokerage thing. But you know, probably the amount of money I spent sending you guys to private school probably could have done it a little differently, but I wouldn't. Any money that I spent on school I made on the real estate. So I'm even.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah.
Hallie
Because now I feel like education like is a little different nowadays.
Chip
Yeah. Plus the people you met around those schools are all successful people.
Hallie
Yeah.
Chip
The connects you have, like you can text or call people that people would cold call for six months and not get a response to.
Hallie
Yeah. What's something luxury you think is actually worth every penny?
Chip
You know, I'm a watch guy like yourself, so I got a bunch of watches. But I, you know, I bought the Bronco last summer and.
Hallie
Love the Bronco.
Chip
That's money.
Hallie
Everyone look.
Chip
Everyone looks at the nicest car on Antarctica. That would. I'm like, this is the stupidest purchase I've ever done. But, you know, it's something I always wanted.
Hallie
No, it was. It was a good. I. I stand fully behind that purchase.
Chip
And you've been good about it. You know, you're the first one to say, do it, dad.
Hallie
Yeah. You always taught me how to do it now attitude. And I think you need to have a little bit more of that same approach to your own purchases because, you
Chip
know, I am somewhat conservative with the money because I gotta manage the household, but.
Hallie
Well, I think you're just fiscally responsible because you know what it likes, it feels like to not have any money at the same time. So we don't know that.
Chip
So to this day, I feel like, you know, someone's taking food off my table. It's why I get up so early and get after.
Hallie
Yeah. Yeah.
Chip
When you know, poor, you know, you learn what money's really about. And the money at the end of the day doesn't matter. It's, you know, keeping you guys happy and healthy and having fun as a family. That's game on.
Hallie
Exactly.
Chip
Yeah.
Hallie
Well, this is fun, Dad. I think you should become my permanent co host. Let's go, baby.

In this lively, unfiltered episode of Extra Dirty, Hallie Batchelder welcomes her father, Chip Batchelder, for a special father-daughter “pregame” session at the bar-inspired new set. True to the podcast’s spirit, they crack open drinks and dive into candid, hilarious, and sometimes deeply personal conversations about their family, Hallie’s upbringing, relationships, generational gaps, and the everyday chaos and lessons of life. The dynamic is irreverent and authentic, with both Hallie and Chip leaning into wild stories, life advice, and playful banter, making for a memorable listen for fans and newcomers alike.

Chip: “The conversations will get flowing. I think we should start off the episode making a beverage because that's what we do best together.” (01:47–01:59)
Chip: “This is about Chip talking to Hallie...nothing’s gonna be left on the table. No question go unanswered.” (02:12–02:28)
Chip, on hard work: “I grew up piss poor... I knew what poor was like and I didn't want to do that. So I worked my balls off.” (12:14–12:26)
On growing up Batchelder: “Our cabinets at the house look like a CVS, don't they? Who needs Prozac? Who needs Oxy? Xanax on aisle 12?” (21:02–21:07)
On being ‘real’: “You're real about it. You talk about your fake tits and your teeth and your eating disorder. I mean, I think that helps people.” (21:18–21:25)
On dating and relationships: “The world evolves around the vagina.” (45:13–45:48)
On seeking quality: “I want stuff people don’t have. Where’d you get that? They only made one.” (10:44–10:49)
Parenting summation: “I don't care what you choose to do, whether it's being a influencer, a pizza maker, the CEO of IBM. Just be the best at it.” (49:05)
On splitting the check: “I have a problem with this. The guys that ask someone out on a date and they ask at the end... to split the check... The girls control the show, bro. I know what you want.” (44:36–45:11)
On the Batchelder approach: “We basically shop, eat, workout and drink. Yeah, that's the four.” (11:44)
